“I've always been extremely lucky in playing with great people who knew...” — Steve Lacy Quote

“I've always been extremely lucky in playing with great people who knew much more than I did. That's how I got from there to here.”

“You must have the music to justify an instrument's extensive use.”

“When I found the music of Monk I finally found music that fit that horn. Every one of his tunes fit it perfectly.”

“I want to work with great people. Great people really make you better.”

“I've been lucky to be able to work with great people and on interesting material.”

“I just want to go to a place where the guys are going to develop me, have great people around me and be at a great organization.”
